This just came up on the netdev list. Is Andi correct and misaligned
IP options will cause a kernel error?

Nobody apparently tried to use IPX on IA64 yet (due to a different ethernet
header length it usually has to deal with an misaligned header)
With this there are also plenty of ways to crash an IA64 box remotely,
e.g. by putting misaligned timestamps into options.
